Congratulations to all those honored at the Welcome Back Breakfasts held in Augusta and Bangor! UMA was proud to recognize employees of UMA and UMS celebrating years of service milestones. Of particular note, Ron Norton, Professor of Economics, celebrated 45 years with UMA.
Two UMA adjunct faculty were also noted for their long-time service. Elizabeth “Betty” Adams teaches journalism and has taught for 77 semesters (78 starting this fall), making her the longest-serving part-time faculty member at UMA and in the entire University of Maine System. David G. Stetson teaches math and statistics and is beginning his 71st semester this fall. He and Betty are the only adjunct faculty at UMA to top the 70-semester mark. We are very proud of their long-time commitment.
